Arsene Wenger, manager of Arsenal football club, has been charged with misconduct by the football association.
The charge comes following the club’s match against Burnley this past weekend, where Wenger pushed and verbally abused one of the officials during the game.
Wenger made abusive comments to the referee because was unhappy with his decision to award Burnley with a penalty in the 93rd minute, who trailed 1-0.
He was then sent off the pitch by another official, but refused to move any further than the tunnel entrance so he could watch the final minutes of the match.
After being told to move again, he allegedly pushed back.
He later apologised and has until 18:00 GMT Thursday to respond to the charge.
In the past, managers have been charged with a £20,000 fine and a two-match touchline ban for pushing a referee during a game.
